This is a steel string guitar. It looks very similar to a classical nylon string

Hi Dave. In answer to your query about the nylon string distancing at the bridge of my Cordoba C7 CD classical, the span twixt 'E' at the 6th string and 'E' at the 1st string; that distance is just a tad shy of 2 5/16", more like 2 9/32". I hope that helps. Moreover, if you are shopping around for a fine instrument for the money spent, my Cordoba is wonderful.

They are nylon and the low strings are wound with steel over the nylon. Some people say that it makes it easier for children but I think the wide neck defeats the ease of the strings. My six-year-old likes her yamaha, though, and will only play it even when I offer her a little Martin or a GS mini (both wonderful guitars).

You could use whatever your favorite strings are for a classical guitar. It's a standard neck. I never got that far with it. It wasn't what I was looking for. Not a Martin sound quality (didn't expect much from the small body) but mainly it was too heavy/bulky to be useful for me.

They are normal classical style acoustic strings, with the lower three strings metal-wound around a fibrous nylon strand core. The tension is therefore set by the nylon, with the metal winding applied primarily to keep the strands together and to protect them from fraying. The higher strings are made of monofilament nylon.

According to the package, they are all solid steel core. The whole Product Description section appears to be a cut-and-paste error and is descriptive of the Pro-Arte strings which are considerably more expensive. I have not tried the Pro-Arte strings, though, so I cannot comment on them. Once again, I am very happy with the Preludes.

I would say they are nylon and very strong. This is my second set I have purchased. The first lasted around 4 years but I left them around the tree over the winters and they do become brittle. This time around, they get put away.

No. Classic guitars are not designed to handle the tension of steel strings and you will likely damage the instrument. If you want to use steel strings, buy the steel string version.

Mine was fine. The nylon is standard stuff. Not especially heavy duty, but not flimsy either. So for $30, I felt it was fine. However, if you have a puppy, don't leave it out as they will chew it up. Few things can stand up to their teeth.

This has pretty good set of strings 6,5,4 being bronze wound nylon. 3,2,1 being nylon. They sound good for stock strings and seem to be doing well in holding tune. I've played it several times retuning each time and they still sound ok. If you are a working musician then you will want to replace them with better quality strings. They are the type that are tied, not ball ends but you can use either, however I prefer the type that are tied.

Excellent quality. Steel strings. Medium size. I love it. Better than I thought it would be for the price.

You don't want to put steel strings on this guitar. Still strings are under greater tension and therefore would destroy this guitar over time. This sounds great with nylon strings.

When I bought it a year ago it was steel. Light weight steel strings I believe (easy on the fingers but the quality of sound suffers a little).

Steel strings. I bought this guitar for a beginner and find that it holds a good tuning for a long time. Would definately recommend for a beginner...

This was designed to be a STEEL STRING guitar. Personally, if I were looking for a classical NYLON STRING guitar for around $100.00, then I would look at a HOHNER, they make good quality instruments.
